What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records William Ashburner as Wreck from the 20th Century period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The *William Ashburner* was a British steamship lost in 1917 during World War I after striking a mine off the coast of Wales. The vessel sank with the loss of all 35 crew members; it was carrying a cargo of coal. Its wreck is now a protected site under Welsh heritage laws due to its historical significance as a wartime casualty.
